Could be a dupe of 7973 (how did I miss that one?).

But the debian stuff is more or less irrelevant because a) that bug is about resizing which I never did and never intended plus b) it is old and talks about parted pre-1.7, it is marked as fixed in 1.7 as suggested in the parted FAQ. I did use a post-1.7 parted but still got this error despite the claims in the FAQ that it should be gone.

In that sense I also feel that the issues in 7973 have been dealt with but this is something else that does look similar.
